The reality TV star and business mogul has started apartment hunting and says Kris Humphries is an easy excuse to spend more time on the east coast!

When Kim Kardashian swore she would be single for a year, not many people took her seriously. She’s stunning, sweet, successful, rich and famous — so it’s no wonder she was swept off her feet by New Jersey Nets basketball player Kris Humphries and went from “single” to “in a relationship” in a matter of months. And now she’s ready to take the plunge and settle down in NYC.

“I think for as much as you can plan for anything, you can’t fight love. There’s just no way around it,” the 30-year-old reality starlet told My Fox NY. “I was single long enough though.”

As their relationship continues to grow, so has Kim’s love for New York. While she’ll always be a California girl at heart, she’s excited about the potential of becoming a resident of the east coast.

“I would love to,” she said, ” I love New York City. There’s nothing like the energy here. The boyfriend is here too so that makes it easy. That’s probably a big excuse why I come. I have been kind of keeping my eyes open. I have a few friends that are moving here so we’re kind of like, ‘Tell me what you see and I’ll tell you what we see.'”

While, many want to know if her potential move means wedding bells will be ringing soon, Kim laughed off the rumor that she is engaged. She says she wants that moment in her life to come as a surprise.

“He hasn’t [asked]. We’ve been dating six months now and I’m having so much fun,” she said. “I’d hope that I wouldn’t know when that’s going to happen. I can’t predict the future. I have no idea.”
